Dave Portnoy Considers Running for Political Office
Portnoy said his Barstool Fund work and public profile could make him a viable candidate, but he doubts he could win enough votes.
- On Tuesday, Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy announced he is considering running for New York City mayor, telling Fox News host Jesse Watters he would "love to run" against incumbent Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
- Portnoy justified the potential bid by attacking Mamdani's record, labeling him a "professional actor" and criticizing policies he claims are turning New York into a "socialist/communist anti American city."
- Contrasting his business background with "clown politicians," Portnoy pointed to the Barstool Fund, which raised $41.6 million with his $500,000 contribution, as evidence he has "done real things."
- In contrast, Mamdani has previously worked as a foreclosure prevention counselor in Queens before serving in the New York State Assembly and becoming the city's first Muslim mayor.
- Facing potential voter skepticism, Portnoy's path remains uncertain; he admitted lacking knowledge of voting demographics and faces mockery over his Boston roots, which critics argue could alienate New York City voters.
